Chapter 62 Thoughts
Fang Jiayan was stunned for a moment, then sat down next to Han Que and exclaimed in amazement, "You two are really amazing. You dare to meet at this critical moment? Aren't you worried that someone will see you and cause some new trouble?"
Han smiled slightly and shrugged, imitating Gu Ningwei's attitude: "Judging from his tone, at this point, what's the harm in being afraid?" He paused, as if talking to himself, "If he's not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
Fang Jiayan thought about it and nodded, agreeing: "That's true. He is a celebrity, and you are not."
Han hummed softly, leaned back on the bench and gradually fell into deep thought.
Fang Jiayan patted her shoulder soothingly and said, "I'll go in and see Auntie first." After hesitating for a moment, she asked her, "Do you want to come in with me?"
"Forget it." Han shook his head and said bitterly, "She doesn't want to see me now. I won't go in and stimulate her, so as not to affect her heart."
Fang Jiayan nodded: "That's fine, don't worry, I'm here, it's the same if I go in to visit."
Han, however, shook her hand on his shoulder and rubbed his face against hers affectionately: "Thank you."
Fang Jiayan said, "What's there to thank? We're all family." As she spoke, she put her hands into the pockets of her white doctor's coat. Her face had replaced the calm expression unique to doctors. She walked to the door of the ward, pressed the intercom system, and called the familiar nurse in the ward.
In the ward, Liu Suping was given an IV drip and her spirits improved a lot. Fang Jiayan walked over, called her "Auntie", and began to check the indicators on the monitor beside her. She also asked the nurse about the daily examination records. She smiled and comforted Liu Suping, "Auntie, don't worry, just rest well, it's okay."
When Liu Suping saw her, she struggled to sit up, but Fang Jiayan held her down: "Auntie, don't move, just lie down."
Liu Suping lay weakly on the pillow. She was awake at this time and said to Fang Jiayan, "Jiayan, look how good you are. You study well and are sensible. But our Han... Alas." She sighed heavily, filled with grief, with a miserable expression, and choked with sobs and couldn't continue.
Fang Jiayan sat down on the stool next to her and said with a smile, "Auntie, please don't say that. When we were in school, Han Que was better at her studies than me, and her college entrance examination scores were higher than mine. Her school was also very good."
Liu Suping sighed, "So what if she's a good student? She's still not doing her best. She's just a fool. You say she did something so foolish that it even made the news, and people came to our house to make a scene. What's going on? She's made me lose all my face. Really, I wish she had died right then and there. Out of sight, out of mind."
Fang Jiayan was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and then softly comforted her, "Auntie, don't listen to what they say. Many people nowadays have no morals. They'll do anything to get traffic. Don't believe them. Han Que is a friend I've known since I was twelve. We all know who she is, and we can trust her."
Liu Suping was silent for a while, then listened to her and asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that Han Que was framed?"
Fang Jiayan nodded, "You could say that."
Liu Suping was stunned for a moment, holding Fang Jiayan's hand tightly, and asked eagerly: "Jiayan, you didn't lie to Auntie?"
Fang Jiayan shook her head firmly, "Of course, I guarantee with my character that Han is innocent."
Liu Suping finally nodded, holding back her tears and letting out a long sigh. She murmured, "I'm just afraid of letting her deceased father down and saying I didn't take good care of her. You know Han Que's father treasures this daughter so much. If he knew she was like this..." She sighed heavily again, "I won't be at peace over there."
Fang Jiayan felt a pang of sadness when she mentioned Han Yourong. She patted Liu Suping's arm and said, "Auntie, relax and cooperate with the doctor. When your condition stabilizes, I'll transfer you to a ward with better conditions. You can recuperate and let Uncle Han rest assured over there."
Liu Suping nodded obediently.
Fang Jiayan comforted her a few more words, went to talk to the attending doctor, and then left the ICU ward. Seeing Han Que's expectant eyes, she smiled reassuringly, "Auntie, it's okay. I've told her everything, and I also told her that when her condition stabilizes, I'll help her transfer to a ward with better conditions."
Han, however, was a little unconvinced and muttered to himself, "So fast?"
Fang Jiayan glanced at her, then remembered her encounter with Gu Ningwei. Suddenly, she realized, "I was wondering why I was called to the Vice President's office while I was working. I thought something had happened to me, but it turned out to be your Young Master Gu's doing."
Han nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your help."
Fang Jiayan smiled and said, "What's the trouble? I also want to find better medical conditions for Auntie, but I'm just a junior doctor and don't have the authority to do so. It's great that he found the vice president."
He then teased Han Que, "Hey, I'll have to ask Mr. Gu to say a few good words for my bright future in this hospital."
"You're just making fun of me." Han rolled his eyes at her and said in a lower voice, "Maybe we won't be in touch soon."
Fang Jiayan sat beside her and asked in confusion, "Why don't we get along? I don't think he's heartless towards you. Look, when your mother was sick, he came right away and even went to find our vice president. You don't know how strict and ruthless our vice president is on a daily basis. Even our director has to be polite to him when he sees him."
Han remained silent for a moment before forcing a smile. "Whether we continue or not is not something I can decide. I didn't expect any consequences in the first place, and now that there's been such a big commotion, how can we continue? It's impossible to even think about it. After a while, he'll still be engaged to He Lian and get married."
Fang Jiayan stared at her intently for a long time before saying, "Han Que, I think you've changed."
Han was surprised: "What changed?"
Fang Jiayan said, "When you were in love before, you were always calm and composed. You didn't take the initiative, didn't refuse, and didn't get emotional. But this time you're different. You're starting to worry about gains and losses. This shows a problem."
Han asked, "What's the problem?"
Fang Jiayan pondered for a moment, looked her straight in the eyes and said, "You are moved."
Gu Ningwei went directly down from the elevator to the underground parking garage, got in the car, threw his cell phone on the passenger seat next to him, buried his head in the steering wheel, and closed his eyes in quiet thought.
Things have been developing too fast these days, which is a bit beyond his expectations and has increased his doubts.
He knew that the early exposure of the business alliance with the He family was Gu Zhiguang's plan, certainly to force him into submission. But whose idea was it to expose his affair with Han Que? What was the purpose? Was it also to force him or to expose the lies of "Chengguang Group" and Gu Zhiguang?
Who sent that reporter named Xie Ming, and why was he keeping an eye on him and Han Que?
And there was Han Que. When he saw Han Que's face just now, her complexion was gray, her eyes were dark circles, and her eyes were dazed. She was no longer the girl with a charming smile, beautiful eyes, and bright face as she was when they first met.
It's not that he doesn't regret it. He regrets that at this critical and cruel moment, he still wanted to be greedy for that little bit of warmth and tenderness. He regrets that he let an innocent girl be involved in the right and wrong of the capital competition for no reason.
However, now that he has come this far, he will continue at all costs.
Gu Ningwei rubbed his eyes and raised his head. He picked up his phone and called Jiang Jin. "Are you free tonight? Let's talk."
Jiang Jin learned from Yu Xiaoli that Han Que's mother was hospitalized.
He knew Liu Suping and knew how much of a blow this incident had been to her. Han's current condition was definitely not good, but visiting her or offering condolences now would undoubtedly cause new trouble.
So he chose to remain silent.
He had been in meetings all day, and his mind was restless. He had been distracted several times during the negotiation, which made Sun Xin, the negotiator from Shunxin Company, extremely dissatisfied. He tapped the table with his Montblanc pen and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Jiang, I see you don't seem to be in the right state. Is there something on your mind?"
Jiang Jin rubbed his temples and forced a smile: "To be honest, I have some family matters that need to be dealt with."
Sun Xin smiled slightly, his tone hinting at a threat as he said, "Oh, I see. Then Mr. Jiang should deal with his family affairs first. We will suspend our negotiations and tell Mr. Gu the truth."
How could Jiang Jin not understand this blatant threat? Gu Zhiguang was eager to negotiate a result but didn't want the conditions to be too bad, so he asked about the progress every day. Shunxin Company understood his psychology and took the opportunity to improve the conditions without rushing. All related risks and responsibilities had to be borne by Chengguang himself. Jiang Jin read the text terms they proposed and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
This is like walking on a tightrope. Once the capital chain breaks, you will fall into the abyss.
Shunxin is taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
He sneered in his heart, looked at Sun Xin's face, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, things have happened one after another recently, making people feel uneasy. Why don't we calm down for a while, and I will go back to take care of the affairs at home."
After saying that, he stood up to leave. Sun Xin was stunned for a moment, his face slightly gloomy, and he said with a hint of threat: "What if Mr. Gu asks?"
Jiang Jin paused and smiled slightly: "Mr. Sun has already said it, just tell the truth."
Before he even reached the elevator, he received a call from Gu Ningwei.
Jiang Jin said: "I'm going back to see my grandma first. She's old and not in good health."
Gu Ningwei thought about it for a moment and then agreed. He knew that his grandmother lived in the same yard with Han Que and had not moved out yet. Jiang Jin had always said that it was because his grandmother was nostalgic and that she could not move to another place because of her old age. Perhaps this was only one of the reasons.
Grandma Jiang was washing dishes by the sink. When she saw Jiang Jin come in, she was stunned for a moment, shook the remaining water in the bowl onto the ground, and turned back into the house.
Jiang Jin followed her and called out awkwardly, "Grandma."
Grandma Jiang hummed, and busily put the two Wan in her hand into the cupboard. She lowered her head and wiped the grease off the table, and asked him, "Have you had dinner?"
Jiang Jin shook his head.
Grandma Jiang said, "There's a bowl of rice in the rice cooker, and two salted duck eggs over there. Do you want some?"
Jiang Jin agreed and went to look for the rice cooker. After searching for a while, he couldn't find it. Grandma Jiang glanced at him and said, "The rice cooker has always been in the kitchen and has never been moved."
Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, his face filled with shame. He opened the screen door, went to the kitchen, got a bowl of rice, poured some boiling water to soak it, took out a salted duck egg, brought it back in, sat down at the dining table, and ate with his head down, panting.
Grandma Jiang glanced at him and asked, "Are you back for the girl from the Han family next door?"
Jiang Jin choked when he heard this and started coughing.
